Dear Sir,
RE: GEORGE NDLOVU
URGENT FAMILY ASSISTANCE
My name is as above stated, the eldest son of late Dr. Khumalo Ndlovu from the Republic of Zimbabwe, Southern region of Africa. I got your contact information from your country’s business journal herein the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce. During the current war against the white farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters of our incumbent President, Mr. Robert Mugabe, he ordered all white Farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and followers (this is one of his numerous antics to chase all white farmers out of Zimbabwe). My father was one of the very best and successful farmers in our country and formerly, Finance and Budgetary Minister of Mugabe’s administration, but he did not support the idea of dispossessing the whites of their farmlands.
As a result, his farm was invaded and utterly burnt down by these treacherous government supporters. In the fierce bid, he(my father) was brutally killed, and the invaders made away with lots of our farm produce and properties.
My family's house was gruesomely destroyed too in the chaos and this resulted in the death of my mother out of severe heart failure. Before the death of my father, he drew my urgent attention to the sum of USD$18Million(Eighteen Million United States Dollars), which he deposited with a security company in Johannesburg, South Africa during his tenure as the Finance & Budgetary Minister. The security company does not know the actual content of the box deposited with them because my father used his diplomatic immunity then to declare it as containing personal valuables and family land documents. My sisters and I have now decided to move out of Zimbabwe for security purposes resulting from the looming danger surrounding our own safety.
Presently, we are in South Africa but under the status of asylum seekers. We decided to have contact with an overseas person(s) or firm(s) who will assist us move the money out of South Africa for onward investment purposes. This was necessitated because as political asylum seekers, we are not allowed to own or operate any form of bank account. Should this proposal happen to meet your considerations, do kindly reply me through the above email address, you can as well contact me on my telephone number as above written for more information. You will be compensated with 25% of the total money, while 70% remains for our investments in your country and 5% mapped out for any expenses that may be incurred on the process of this transaction.
Thanking you for your anticipated co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
for: On behalf of my sisters
GEORGE NDLOVU
